Marin had training in restoration techniques at the Institute of Archaeology in Milan, Italy. He has mastered many ancient techniques in his work as a goldsmith and worked on the restoration and conservation of ancient treasures for the National Institute for Cultural Heritage in Sofia, Bulgaria. Lydia obtained a Bachelors of Fine Arts and Design from Concordia University in Montreal which complimented her knowledge of symbols and signs from ancient cultures and resulted in the creation of award winning sculptures and art jewelry. Over the years we followed different paths of expression with one thing in common – our interest in the rich cultural heritage of Bulgaria and our passion for ancient art. Our work is recognized for its originality and gained awards and honourable mentions in numerous exhibitions.
